Line 127:
** Also, the random townspeople were a mixed bag. Some of them were clearly worried with phrases like "You must save Hyrule!" and "Please save our town!". Others expressed "I am much too busy to talk to a stranger" or "I know nothing".
* Elsewhere in the Zelda universe, in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]'', Princess Zelda gets turned to stone, and nobody in town gives a shit. In fact, all they ever seem to give a toss about is how strange the King is acting - by which time you'll probably have seen the cut-scene that explains it. Oh, and Kinstones. They LOVE Kinstones.
** And in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', nobody seems to notice that {{spoiler|their beloved Queen Zelda has disappeared. They don't even talk about her all that much}} or even when {{spoiler|Hyrule Castle is surrounded by an impenetrable bubble. And when the city is first filled with darkness, they WATCH the castle BURN and don't seem to really care!}} To paraphrase Midna: "This city is full of idiots!"
* In the [[MMORPG]] ''[[Lord of the Rings]] Online'', a number of [[NPC|NPCs]] were constantly moaning about how terrible things were. This was later changed to make them less unhappy.
* In ''[[Mercenaries]]: Playground of Destruction'', the people of North Korea have become so desensitized to the constant shifts in government and the daily assortment of air raids, artillery barrages, mafia killings, and armored offensives that they won't even ''blink'' when a heavily armed mercenary rumbles past with a stolen tank.
